France won 1-0 as Mbappe forced a Maximilian Wober own goal
France captain Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose in his team's win over Austria at Euro 2024 on Monday which could hamper his ability to represent the national team for the remainder of the tournament but not end his participation.
France's medical team swiftly confirmed to domestic broadcaster TF1 that Mbappe's nose was indeed broken and although L'Equipe reported that surgery was initially expected at the University of Dusseldorf facilities, the decision was made against operating on the World Cup winner -- for now.
"Kylian Mbappe has suffered a broken nose," confirmed the French Football Federation via a statement issued via the French press overnight. "He is back in camp with the rest of the squad and will undergo treatment in the coming days without undergoing immediate surgery.
